Just for the record I am not just a seller here on the forum.
I buy as much or more than I sell; I give away a lot of products to people that can use them; I am building two project cars presently; have built a few prior to these two; have hauled parts for people as I move my stuff around the US; and I am retired so I have lots of other non Corvette stuff going on now as well. I just don't want folks to get the wrong impression that I am here just to sell stuff, far from it.
Thanks for the compliment Dennis., I do appreciate it, just didn't want to give the wrong impression.

That frame would be perfect for me, as I just started dis-assembly on a 79 frame that I pulled the body off of - I'm sure you can ship it, right? LOL!
Good luck with your sale.

Not to be confusing to any of those looking, this is my 1977 frame getting the same measurements prior to being restored back to better than new. The 1978 frame already underwent the same measurements and all were within their tolerances. This frame here is not cleaned, repaired, media blasted or finished yet, the 78 frame is. I will get pictures of the 78 frame to show it's condition which is much nicer than this one now. This one will be as nice as my 69 shortly and will have many of the same improvements. But that is another thread.
Tram gauge measurements compared to detailed dimensional drawings. No twists or damage on this one.
I'm showing the 1977 books and drawings in this example, we used the 1977/1978 drawings. I will show those as well.

1977 early, and 1977 late and 1978 frame drawing dimensions are the same. Books located and verified today.

I think most of us understand and agree with Dennis - you just need to move to the west coast so I can actually participate in some of your pickup deals!

Frame was purchased for my 1977 project car but the rear end is different as is the gas tank area so I am not going to be able to use it.
Frame has been cleaned and painted using POR-15. It has good #1, #2, and #3 body mounts on it. I have new #4 body mounts I was going to have welded to replace the warn #4 mounts on the frame. Frame is straight and has not been hit or twisted. It is an automatic frame and I have a good transmission cross member I will sell with the frame. Replace the #4 mounts, touch it up, put it to work.
$750 is my asking price or best offer. I have paid a lot more and gotten a lot less, this frame will not disappoint you.
Please ask any questions here.
Thank you.

I have seen the frames cut and joined just in front of no. 4 mount and that keeps the chassis number

Still available. Holidays are upon us. Make me an offer and you just never know, I might accept it.
